Overview

Lines between the personal and the professional get blurred when Harvey and Stephen work together on Ava's case, and Mike invites Rachel to join him on a case that gets complicated when his secret falls in the line of fire -- with Rachel's parents.

Major/Highlighted Events

Harvey teams up with Stephen Huntley to work on getting Ava Hessington out of her murder charges. When Stephen goes behind Harvey's back and targets Tony Gianopolous' daughter, Harvey goes to Jessica for help. The pair formulate a strategy where Ava trades her ownership shares in exchange for voting shares - in turn, Gianopolous owns Hessington Oil while Ava resumes her title as CEO.

Harvey also has Gianopolous sign a sworn statement regarding himself, Cameron Dennis and the video of the tape, thus getting the tape inadmissible as evidence as it violates chain of command.
